didnt have the chance to do much with the motor today... but i did pull one of the plugs and it was black. so i guess were running rich. an i guess thats normal for a turbo application?

now iirc, the code on the plug was BKR65E (i thought it was BKR6SE, but that does not even come up in google). i searched here and on m.net and got no results.

any thoughts on the plugs?

ok, so i went to the shop, reconnected the IC piping. started it up...
the car was a little rough for less then a minute, eventually went to the normal idle settling in at around 800-900 rpm.
the motor purrs like a kitten, the the exhaust is pretty loud for my taste.
oil pressure, fuel and temp gauges work, the tech and the speedo do not.
the cold side of the ic piping is sitting on the roll bar, i guess thats something i need to fix.
the clutch engagement is early, real early... i barely lift off the floor and bam it bytes. i guess i need to bleed that.

i roll around the shop property a bit, and man.. the suspension is nice an stuff.. makes me smile

next on the agenda is to sort out that clutch and the oil leak i have going on.
hopefully i will be able to get a little lift time 2moro to see whats going on.

thoughts/comments/help is welcome.
thanks guys!
